Good afternoon-

I hope you enjoyed this beautiful weekend. It was a busy one with homecoming and the farmer's market so it was nice to have the weather cooperate! I hope the groups at the market had a great time. The dance was attended by 600 students. Each year we say it's the biggest one yet. Kudos to Josh, Natalie, and the entire StuCo group for making it a success. We appreciate all you do for AHS.

The class of 2028 will be pulled to attend an x-block either Tuesday or Wednesday this week (half of the class each day). It is for a follow up meeting regarding the HappyB2.0 study that AHS students are participating in. 

After a busy week this past week, who can think of anything better than wrapping up with ice cream? We will have an ice cream truck here at AHS during dismissal on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week. The Erdelt's, former grads and supporters of the Reality Fair, will offer support, via a cut of their sales, to the seniors (Tuesday), juniors (Wednesday), and freshmen (Thursday). Any student is welcome to purchase an ice cream each day. We are grateful for their ongoing support of AHS! 

On Thursday we will welcome 2nd year teachers from Milford and Mendon-Upton. These teachers will be visiting classrooms to observe the wonderful things that happen at AHS from 10:45am to 12:20pm. 

I am hosting my job-alike meeting at AHS on Friday morning from 8:30-10:30am. We will be meeting in the upstairs A-wing kitchen. If you could leave the single-stall bathroom doors in that hall open when not in use, I would appreciate it! 

Please see the attached letter from Rep. Jack Patrick Lewis and feel free to reach out if he can support or visit your class.

Good afternoon- Thanks to everyone who helped to make New Student Orientation a success last night. It was great to see so many students and staff in the building. I am looking forward to seeing you all on Monday. We start at 8AM in the auditorium. There will be some members of the Class of 2026 painting their parking spots on Monday afternoon. Please try to park in the faculty parking lot or in the back of the building if you usually park in the student section.  New staff, please join the staff  Google Classroom . All information sent to faculty/staff will be housed here. The  class code is a5ca6a4. The custodians have been working hard to make sure each classroom has the correct number of desks (minus study halls). There may be a few classrooms off a desk or two based on student moves at the end of this week. If anyone has furniture in their rooms that is not being used, please let me know. We are short some L-shaped desks, under-desk file cabinets, and bookcases....

Good afternoon- I hope you have been able to dig out from the storm. Tomorrow is sure to be a little chaotic, and I fully predict we will have students who don't understand the exam schedule changes and families who may keep their students home. We will need to be flexible! Stay warm! Here is the schedule for tomorrow:  G block exam: 10:30 am- 12 pm Lunch: 1st (12:05-12:35) - English, math, & science             2nd (12:40-1:10) - history, world language, unified arts, special education, ELL & wellness Students will need to be asked to remain in their class for first lunch and return to the class they were testing in for second lunch. We will do our best with this but are not going to stress about kids being elsewhere. We have no way of knowing how many G block students are staying for A block.  A block exam: 1:15 pm- 2:45 pm Along with the updated midyear exam schedule .  Grades for Term 2 will close on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, a...
